Synopsis

Interface Level

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

Description

The ddi_get_lbolt() function returns a value that represents the number of clock
ticks since the system booted. This value is used as a counter
or timer inside the system kernel. The tick frequency can be determined
by using drv_usectohz(9F), which converts microseconds into clock ticks.

The ddi_get_lbolt64() behaves essentially the same as ddi_get_lbolt(), except the value is
returned in a longer data type (int64_t) that will not wrap for
2.9 billion years.

Return Values

The ddi_get_lbolt() function returns the number of clock ticks since boot in
a clock_t type.

The ddi_get_lbolt64() function returns the number of clock ticks since boot in
a int64_t type.
